Jason Koon

Dominik Nitsche was in the big blind and checked to Jason Koon on the button with {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts} on the felt. Koon bet 21,000 and Nitsche called. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Nitsche checked. Koon checked back with some force.

"Good check back," Nitsche said, tabling {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for top pair turned into the nuts.

"I guess I had some hope," Koon said, throwing {k-Spades}{7-Spades} into the middle for his own missed combo draw.

Jason Koon opened the cutoff to 2,500 and Nick Petrangelo called on the button, as did Isaac Haxton in the big blind.

The river fell the {6-Spades}, and Haxton led out for 21,000 and Petrangelo used his full extension of time before calling.

"That was my river," announced Haxton as he tabled his {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Petrangelo mucked, and Haxton collected the pot with his rivered full house.

Koon Earns One

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Koon defended big blind and check-called 2,500 from Dominik Nitsche on the button on {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades}. Both players checked the {a-Hearts}, bringing the {j-Hearts}. Koon bet 3,000 and Nitsche raised to 15,000. Koon put in calling chips after thinking a bit and Nitsche turned over {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} knowing it was no good, tossing Koon his chips.

Indeed, Koon tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"Finally won one," someone said.

"He earned it," Nitsche said with a smile.

"We're gonna make each other earn 'em today," Koon declared.

Bonomo Fills Up on Adams

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Brandon Adams raised the button to 3,000 and Justin Bonomo called in the big blind.

The flop landed {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and both players checked to reveal the {10-Spades} on the turn.

Bonomo led out for 6,000, and Adams bumped it up to 18,000. Bonomo called, and then both players checked the {7-Diamonds} on the river.

Adams tabled his {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, but it would be Bonomo's {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a full house that would earn him the pot.
